                        Definitely not a subject we often see here, and it's a shame, because that is just plain stunning! Wow!! Yes

                        Glad you guys like it, the CL-215's and the CL-415's have some really nice paint schemes.  I wish they would make some after market decals for these planes, especially of the real colorful ones.

                        Nice work!  A friend recently sent me a link to a YouTube video of the Spanish Air Force firefighting with these birds.

                        Did they use GE CT-7s? Looks like the same cowling shape as the Saab 340s I'm flying.

                        Here's a forest fighter, it's the 1/72nd scale Heller kit with all the clunky rivet detail sanded off and the panel lines rescribed.  That was a lot of work to say the least.  I got some Spanish roundels on-line and the black stripes on the rudder were cut from black decal sheet.  Numerals were from the spare decal box.  I like this scheme so I made an effort to get it right.
